ELEVATED PHOTOGRAPHY FOR MODERN WOMEN BY WOMEN

As we take a peek into Megan and Kelvin’s incredible California Academy of Sciences wedding, you might remember this beautiful couple from their fun Tinywater engagement session we did with them at Baker Beach. With animal obsessed Kelvin and nature loving Megan, the California Academy of Sciences was a natural choice for these bay area natives!

The architecture of this building is stunning inside and out. Did you know that the California Academy of Sciences is one of the biggest natural history museums in the world? The best part is, it’s located practically in our backyard – a very pretty yard, actually. Nestled within Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, this venue is made up of the Steinhart Aquarium, complete with a four story faux rainforest, the Morrison Planetarium, dedicated to “all things astronomical”, and the Kimball Natural History Museum.

We love making the short trek from our Sacramento studio into San Francisco to shoot one of a kind weddings like Megan and Kelvins. With the ever so talented Jess Flood coordinating the event, we knew it would be one wedding we didn’t want to miss!

The California Academy of Sciences was full of fun animal themed details and we had a blast exploring the museum as Megan and Kelvin’s San Francisco wedding photographer!

With a color theme of turquoise blue and bright pink, these bright Manolo Blahnik shoes were a great accent to Megan’s ivory gown. It reflected the museum aquarium perfectly!

A few more moments of getting ready and final revisions of the vows with Megan before we whisked her around the museum for a bridal portraits before the ceremony began.

We can’t get enough of the contrast between Megan’s soft flowing gown and the industrial metal architecture on this walkway inside the California Academy of Sciences.

The bride and groom set up a little scavenger hunt for their guests to get the most out of exploring the 400,000 square feet of museum that the California Academy of Sciences has to offer. It’s a great way to keep your guests occupied before and in between wedding day events!

The ceremony space was accented with fresh pink and green floral pom poms lining the aisle, and a living garden wall framing the altar at the front of the room.

The kids in tow had some fun exploring while the guests arrived. There is so much to do and discover here, your curiosity won’t be satisfied with just one visit!

We had a few laughs with Kelvin as we waited for the ceremony to begin.

Megan and Kelvin were so cute smiling from ear to ear as they first spotted each other at their California Academy of Sciences wedding ceremony!

We are so excited to show you more from Megan and Kelvin’s gorgeous wedding at the California Academy of Sciences!
